5.2.2.1 Step 1 – Create a New File or Open Existing File
To begin creating a new program, press the New Program button. To open an 
existing program, press the Open Program button and select a file from the 
resulting browser window. 
5.2.2.2 Step 2 – Select Datalogger and Specify Scan Interval
Click the arrow next to Datalogger Model to display a list of Campbell 
Scientific dataloggers. Select the datalogger type. 
Set the Scan Interval, or period for each measurement cycle.
When choosing a scan interval, remember that faster scan intervals will use 
more power. For most applications, a 10 to 60 second scan interval is 
sufficient. If faster scan intervals are required for your application, make sure 
there is sufficient time for the execution of all instructions in the program 
(refer to the section in the datalogger manual on Execution Intervals for 
additional information).
